mind boggling, heart rendering

the multitude of events uncovered last weekend made me think.

maybe the puan sri(s) and datin(s) were right. maybe there's no such thing as true love. maybe my previous relationships with non-malays, non-muslim really dulled my senses and blurred my sight. made me blind to the fact of the matter; there's no such thing as fate, soulmates or true love for the malays. in their world, fate, soulmates and true love does exist but not in ours. in our world, the code of conduct is marry the woman of your choice, 1, 2, 3 or 4. titik!

such romantic i was! what to do, my grandparents conned me into believing that there are soulmates. they were so lovey dovey til-death-do-us-part. when one is not in their best state, the other would sense it. i guess back then maybe, everything was simpler, the social values and belief system were different then.

henceforward, i concluded - relationship, after the romance is over, is about making best with whom you are with.

Who's to say which is right; your grandparents, or the puan sri(s) and datin(s)?I don't think any human/mortal is in a position to make concrete statements on whether or not things like “soulmates” or “fate” are “true”.I think it is best to focus on your wise conclusion, rather than distract yourself with the imaginary!

"And no matter how in love you are with your wife/gf - there are always other women who will offer themselves openly to you especially when you are walking with your pregnant wife.And there are men who offer women, man, rent boys, mak nyah whatever... "

aiyahi'm in love with the same person since 15 years ago and we were 11 then. people say we'll outgrow it, but as it turns out, we grew together. life's not always peachy, and at the risk of sounding super corny, i'm more in love everyday. if thats even possible. then how? how do explain this infatuation of ours?

I can't express my disappointment.. Thank you for being my partner in our KGB mission..

cik puan muda, i am happy that u have that kind of everlasting love.. but believe me.. sometimes things happen for no reason. things that you love can be taken away without no reason.. no mistake on your part.. no early warning.. coz there are people out there who just think all property is public property.. and they really don't have empathy feelings and are outmost selfish..

yeah, i remember when i asked a stranger to take my photo besides the leaning tower of pisa (with the famous pose of like i'm trying to hold the tower from falling down). gave him specific instruction but eventually it ended as if the tower is crashing down on me with my bottom half missing. *sigh* those backpacking days...and no digital camera.
